- HOW
TO DOWNLOAD MOVIES: Do you need to save copies of the movies for
classroom lecture or other instructional applications?
O - Go to Download Exam Movies Page... From any page that has 'SECTIONS' and the movies that go along with those sections: i.e. Newborn > Normal – Cranial Nerves, 12 Months – Motor-Tone, etc. Find the
 button located next to the movie icon. Click this button to go directly to that movie's entry on the Download Exam Movies page.
- Follow the On-screen Instructions...
As the Download Exam Movies page loads in the background, an interrupt message appears asking if you already have a password to unlock the zipped movie files, since these files are password protected. We
do want to encourage you to re-use our movies in other teaching materials for
appropriate non-commercial, educational use. However, to honor the invaluable
contributions and generosity of the many patients who appear in our movies, we ask you to fill out a request form that tells us a little about who you are and how you will re-use the movie clips.
When the request is approved, you will receive an e-mail with the password to unlock the zipped movie files.
- Download
Zipped Movies... On the Download Exam Movies page,
locate the title of the movie (or group of movies) you wish to download
and click the
button next to that title.
What happens next will depend on several factors: which browser
you’re using, how that browser handles .zip files, and how
your computer is set up to handle downloads, as well as other factors.
If you have any problems with this step of the download process,
please ask your computer support staff for assistance. Typically,
the process works seamlessly and automatically.
Follow the instructions, if any, to choose a location and save the
.zip file that is being downloaded to your local hard drive. If
there are no instructions, look for the file on the Desktop or in
a ‘DOWNLOADS’ folder on your hard drive once the download
is complete.
- Extract
Zipped Movies... Now that you have the .zip file on your
local drive, you will need a software program that allows you to
open .zip archives. If you don’t already have a program, you
can download one called StuffIt Expander from Aladdin using these
links:
Expander
for Windows
Expander
for Mac
When you use one of these "unzip" utilities
to extract the .zip archive and save the movie(s)
as regular QuickTime .mov files, a dialog box appears, asking you to enter
the password. Once you enter a password and save the clip as a .mov file,
you can play the clip directly from your local hard drive and re-use the
movie in lectures, PowerPoint or Keynote presentations, quizzes, exams,
problem-based learning cases, multimedia learning objects, or websites. Movies
that you re-use in your own applications do not have to be password protected;
they can be open to students worldwide. Click on this link to read the specific re-use guidelines.

TO FIX MOVIE CAPTIONS: Are the text captions in your QuickTime movies
too large and cropped?
Text captions display
improperly on Windows-based computers if your system display font is
set to "Large Fonts." Use this link, ADJUST
WINDOWS DISPLAY FONT SIZE, to fix the problem.
- INTERNET
CONNECTION SPEED: This site requires a high-speed connection
such as a T1 line, broadband cable modem or DSL. Because of the file
size of the QuickTime movies, it is impractical to interact with the
PediNeuroLogic Exam and NeuroLogical Cases websites with a 56K modem.
- QUICKTIME
REQUIRED: You must have the QuickTime Browser plug-in to view
the movies on this site. This plug-in is available without cost for Macintosh and
Windows-based computers. If you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer, click the following download link...
- VIEWING
MOVIES: Movies for the site are progressive download files that are transferred immediately over the Internet to your computer for playback.
Movies are represented by a framed PICTURE, a "VIEW NOW" button, or a "VIEW BIG" button. By clicking the PICTURE or one of the "VIEW" buttons, the movie will immediately open and play in a second, smaller window.
 i
A movie can be viewed at approximately double its original size by clicking the "VIEW BIG " button. These scaled up movies are designed for group presentations or classroom projection.
